Netgear R8000 Router enable VPN with L2TP/IPSEC
I am using a Netgear R8000 router, I understand that it has a VPN feature that can be connected via Open VPN client. However, does it come with a feature of VPN via L2TP/IPSEC? If yes, how to configure it on my router and make my router beocme a L2TP/IPSEC VPN server? Thanks.

No L2TP either.

Thank you for your reply.
I tried to use OpenVPN now, I downloaded the zip file generated by the router and unzipped it.
I send a copy of all 4 files
ca.crt
client.crt
client.key
client3.ovpn
I clicked client3.ovpn and select copy to OpenVPN, then I select Add this profile but result in error.
It said missing file ca.crt, client.crt, client.key..
if this is the case, how can I copy the config via email?

Where did you get this from. Try setting up Open VPN from first principles and make sure it works. Then re-export and see if that works better

I download the zip file from the router page.

OK so it was a bad or old download from the vendor but Open VPN (as we suggested above) is now working
